RECOVER
Many organizations have a false sense of security as it relates to their ability to recover from an unforeseen business disruption. Proper planning, training, and documentation will help prevent both short and long term disruptions from having a catastrophic impact on your business. VIOPOINT offers a variety of recovery solutions that have the common goal of developing contingency plans that protect the livelihood of your organization.
VIOPOINT uses a multi-tiered approach that will help you identify business resumption threats, evaluate the financial and operational impacts of a disruption, and ultimately develop cost-effective contingency plans to resume operations in a timeframe that makes sense for the business. At the end of each engagement, our customers receive a business resumption plan that fits into the existing security program and directly supports regulatory or best practice strategies for testing and maintaining the program.
Business Impact Analysis
One of the most important milestones in a successful disaster recovery program is to define, prioritize and analyze the cost of downtime for the most critical business processes in your organization. VIOPOINT uses a structured approach to identify critical business processes, quantify their value to the organization, and develop cost-of-failure profiles that are easily translated into recovery priorities.
As the priorities are established, VIOPOINT helps you understand the interrelationship between top business functions and the underlying infrastructure used to support them. The defined relationship between the recovery priorities for business operations and the technical infrastructure that supports them serves as the foundation for your resulting disaster recovery plan.
Business Resumption Readiness Assessment
Even well-managed business resumption programs require an occasional “check-up” to ensure their effectiveness in the event they are called into action. As business evolves, resumption plans are often overlooked as critical components that help to contribute to the overall success of an organization. Without adequate maintenance or ongoing review, outdated business resumption plans can increase risk and hinder your ability to resume business operations as part of overall crisis management.
VIOPOINT can evaluate your business resumption program to help you understand where gaps exist. Our methodology is based off of NIST, DRI (Disaster Recovery Institute) and other best practices for business resumption planning. This approach will identify areas that require further focus while preserving your investment in existing plans.
Business Resumption Planning
No one can predict when a disaster will strike. Quantifying the impact of an outage to your organization and preparing accordingly will ultimately ensure the survival of your organization. VIOPOINT’s business resumption services are tailored for organizations that want to understand and manage the potential impact that a disaster could inflict on their environment. Our approach will help you identify, prioritize, and address key areas of your business resumption program.
Recognizing the need for flexible and tailored solutions to address the unique challenges of disaster recovery, business continuity, pandemic response and other business resumption areas, VIOPOINT emphasizes the importance of setting expectations and managing key project milestones to deliver effective results that are truly client sustainable.
